I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

Chiharu Tokisaka was stubbornly incredulous, but Kai Natsugiri watched her silently.

Chiho watched the two arguing and noticed that Chiharu Tokisaka was looking over.

Helpless, he spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing."

Xia Wuzhao looked at the girl, paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you really want to work?"

"Ok!"

Chiharu Tokisaka nodded, looking at Natsugiri Kai with some anticipation: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Just drop out of school."

Xia Wuzhao said expressionlessly, "Once you drop out of school, you won't need to waste your parents' money anymore, and you won't be restricted by student rules. You can work as long as you want."

"Anyway, aren't you eager to make money right now? You don't care about your studies anymore."

Chapter 294 The thorns enveloped in love and then swallowed.

"So, dropping out of school is the best solution."

"Once you drop out of school, all your troubles will be resolved."

As Xia Wuzhao spoke, his words were cold, like sharp ice thorns piercing the girl's heart.

Chiharu Tokisaka grew increasingly awkward and embarrassed.

She didn't even know what to say, and could only laugh awkwardly a few times.

"At this point, all you need to do is tell some jokes."

As a normal high school girl, she knew exactly what to do to ease the tension.

Because this is an essential survival skill from childhood, if you can't read the room, you'll just be seen as a freak or an oddball.

Even if they aren't bullied, they'll just be ignored and marginalized.

Especially for someone like myself, whose grades aren't good, whose personality isn't outstanding, and who's always just average in every way.

But, but at this moment.

Chiharu Tokisaka simply lowered her eyelids and said, "If I drop out of school, what will happen to my future? If I don't get into university, the meaning of my life will completely disappear."

"But even if you continue like this, you still won't get into a good university."

Xia Wuzhao said coldly, "Because your grades are declining, but you don't pay attention to your grades. Instead, you're always worrying about work and money."

"Isn't this the kind of thing adults should be thinking about?"

Chiharu Tokisaka clenched her fists, her light gold eyes fixed on Kai Natsugiri: "So what? Now I'm just supposed to ignore everything else for the sake of studying? Can I just ignore everything and focus solely on my studies?"

"Am I just supposed to take from my family without any scruples?"

"I'm sorry, I simply can't do that."

The girl said, "I can't do that because my family has already done so much for me. I haven't repaid them yet, and I'm even asking for more. I can't do that."

Xia Wuzhao looked at her, but said, "It seems like you're pushing all the responsibility onto me, Tokisaka-senpai."

"I'm not saying you have to study, or that you have to drop out of school."

"That's not what I think."

"I just feel that you want to balance working and earning money with studying. But you don't have the ability to do both at the same time."

"Your grades are slipping, and you're also worried about finding a job and earning money."

"But you don't seem to realize this. You've been living your life so comfortably all along, which is why I'm telling you this."

"Whether you focus on your studies or drop out of school to work, at least choose one aspect so that in the end you won't end up doing nothing or accomplishing nothing."

"That's why I'm saying this to you."

Listening to what Xia Wukai said, Tokisaka Chiharu pursed her lips tightly.

After a long time, the sky outside the window turned a fiery red.

The girl finally said, "My parents would never agree to me dropping out of school. They've worked so hard to send me here so I could get into a good university."

“It won’t work if I don’t work. My parents will have to work even harder and will worry about me a lot.”

As she said this, she looked up and smiled helplessly: "You know what? Every Sunday night, they call me and say some caring things. They ask how my work is going and say that the family's income is very poor."

"Or maybe it's something like telling me to work hard."

"They really care about me. Besides calling me on Sundays, they call me three or four times a week. They ask about my well-being and care about me a lot. They love me very much."

"I need to respond to this."

The girl tilted her head, her expression one of helplessness.

But then, just as Xia Wuzhao was about to say something...

Chiharu Tokisaka suddenly stood up and said to the two of them, "I'm sorry to bother you. You're both younger than me, yet I'm telling you about this kind of trouble."

"I'm so sorry."

After saying that, she walked out the door.

Chiharu Tokisaka closed the door and stood in the empty club corridor.

She couldn't help but exhale, and looking at the empty corridor in front of her, she felt a sense of emptiness.

Behind them, the colors of the sunset in the sky were as beautiful as a painting.

The horizon looked as if it were ablaze.

Chiharu Tokisaka simply walked into the somewhat dimly lit corridor and arrived at her helpers' club.

The place is empty and feels lonely.

The girl sat there, not looking at the sky, but just staring at the table.

In the Faculty of Letters.

Chiho lay on the table, looking at Natsugiri Kai, and said, "You've said those kinds of things to a girl again, Natsugiri."

"Isn't that right?"

Xia Wuzhao asked in return.

“That’s right, but we can’t just say it directly,” Chiho said.

But Xia Wuzhao didn't look at her: "If it's correct, and you can't even say it out loud, then can it be called correct?"

Chiho corrected Natsugiri Kai: "Humans aren't always machines. Just because something is right doesn't mean it will be accepted."

"Sometimes, humans need lies too. Humans are creatures that exist because of lies, if the whole world could only tell the truth."

"Then humans will be like vampires, turned to ashes by the true light."

The girl spoke these words earnestly.

However, Xia Wuzhao did not listen, which made Qianhui feel somewhat helpless and amused.

She straightened up and looked at Natsumi Kai, saying, "Even though you can't hear what I'm saying, after you said that, Tokisaka-senpai might not come here."

"Can you accept these consequences?"

Xia Wuzhao did not answer Chiho's question; he simply said, "If you think I'm wrong, then why don't you stop me?"

The girl smiled and said, "Because, you know, I'm not a fool. If I had stopped you just now, wouldn't I have become your enemy, Xia Wu?"

"I would never do that kind of thing. But if it's something you're willing to do, then I'll definitely approve of it."

Xia Wuzhao was silent for a moment before he said, "It's not just for that reason, is it, Kirishima?"

Chiho tilted her head, her crimson hair like clouds in the sky. She smiled and said, "You're quite perceptive, Natsugiri. But if it's Natsugiri, it's only natural that she would notice."

"That's right, I saw the problem with that Saka."

The girl said to Xia Wuzhao, "She is a puppet driven by love. She takes responsibility too seriously, even though it's not something she should be carrying right now."

"That's an adult's responsibility. She's not an adult yet, but she wants to shoulder responsibilities that only adults can bear."

"Moreover, her family is a very intelligent family. They didn't directly ask Tokisaka to do anything, but just kept showing concern and complaining."

"But it's precisely this complaint, wrapped in love, that makes it impossible for Tokisaka to refute it. Because to refute these things would be to refute the love itself, wouldn't it?"

"Tokisaka is a very good girl, which is why she is in so much pain."

"If she were a more scumbag girl, she would ask her parents for money without any scruples and wouldn't be in so much pain."

“If she were a stupid girl, her parents wouldn’t have sent her to school; they would have sent her to work instead, and she wouldn’t be suffering like this.”

"But she happens to be a very good and not stupid girl. She can maintain average grades and also wants to repay her parents' love."

"What's even more tragic is that she's neither stupid nor particularly smart. If she were smart enough, she could have maintained excellent grades and wouldn't have to worry about them."

"Moreover, jobs are harder to find than before. If she had better financial conditions in the past, she could easily earn enough to support herself instead of suffering like she does now."

"But she was incompetent at everything, yet she wanted to be a perfect person. So, in the end, she could only keep torturing herself."

As Chiho said this, she concluded by saying, "So, Tokisaka-senpai is a really unlucky person."

Xia Wuzhao's gaze shifted from the sky to Chiho: "So, you also think Tokisaka did something wrong?"

No.

Chiho shook her head and said, "Would you call a common phenomenon wrong?"

"Because parents' expectations are not wrong, and Tokisaka-senpai did nothing wrong either. In the past, Tokisaka-senpai must have been expected of the same thing by her parents."

"But in the past, she could always respond to her parents and meet their expectations. That's why she received more love, but that's not possible now."

"She is gradually becoming unable to meet her parents' expectations, which is why she is struggling and in pain."

"Therefore, I have no way of saying that she did something wrong."

The girl lay on the table, turning her head to look at Xia Wuzhao, who always seemed to have the same silent expression.

Xia Wuzhao asked, "Then who do you think is in the wrong?"

The girl thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Who knows who's wrong? These things don't really matter, because right and wrong have no impact on reality."

"After all, right and wrong only exist in everyone's subjective impression."

"Instead of something with a physical form."

After the girl finished speaking, she slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction.

"Let's talk about something interesting, Xiawu. Don't always talk about other girls in front of me."

"I can get jealous, you know."

She pouted, looking genuinely jealous.

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's almost time for school to end."

"Is it already this late?" Chiho looked outside. "It really is dusk. Another day is almost over."

"Natsugiri, are you going to find Asahi Aoi again?"

"Yes," Xia Wuzhao said; "I promised to go to the library to see her today."

"Ah, I'm really envious of that kind of thing."

Chiho sighed, "If I could, I would want to live with you, Natsugiri."

"This kind of thing is unnecessary."

Xia Wuzhao said calmly, "Isn't your home much better than mine?"

"I've never been to your house, so how could I know that your house is worse than mine?"

The girl replied matter-of-factly, "Unless you let me go see it."

"Then go find Asahi. She'll tell you if she's willing to."

Natsugiri Kai used this reason to answer Chiho.

Every time Chiho asked about the address, Natsugiri Kai would always tell her to ask Asahi Aoi.

Chiho knew, of course, that even if she asked Aoi Asahi, she wouldn't get any useful information.

So the girl changed the subject again.

"Summer Mist, did the magic of the bonfire party work?"
